Choosing the types of notifications you receive

You can choose to have notifications automatically sent when a user commits to a pull request you're subscribed to.

You'll only receive email notifications if outbound email support is enabled on your GitHub Enterprise instance. For more information, contact your site administrator.

Enabling email service notifications for pushes to your repository

Email notifications you receive for pushes to a repository list new commits and link to a diff containing just those commits. Web notifications you receive for pushes to a repository also link to a diff containing the new commits.

When you receive an email notification from pushes to a repository, you'll see:

The name of the repository where the commit was made

The branch a commit was made in

The SHA1 of the commit, including a link to the diff in GitHub Enterprise

The author of the commit

The date when the commit was made

The files that were changed as part of the commit

The commit message

On GitHub Enterprise, navigate to the main page of the repository.

Under your repository name, click Settings.

Click Integrations & Services.

Click Add service, then type "Email."

Type up to two email addresses, separated by whitespace, where you'd like notifications to be sent. If you'd like to send emails to more than two accounts, set one of the email addresses to a group email address.

If you operate your own server, you can verify the integrity of emails via the Secret token. This token is sent with the email as the Approved header. If the Approved header matches the token you sent, you can trust that the email is from GitHub Enterprise.

Optionally, select Send from author to have emails delivered using the committer's email address. Otherwise, emails are sent from the no-reply email address configured by your site administrator.
